5.0 out of 5 stars
This recording makes 12 seasons of Kremer's brilliant violin playing, March 30, 2009
This review is from: The Russian Seasons (Audio CD)
Gidon Kremer and his Kremerata Baltica is the common thread. Their recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and of Piazzolla's Four Seasons in Buenos Aires is entitled "Eight Seasons". Their Russian Seasons recording was just right to complement a lecture about spring described by music. The range of expression by the Russian repertoire exactly contrasts the well-know sounds of the Vivaldi seasons and the perhaps lesser-known work of Piazzolla that incorporates a new tango. For me, The Russian Seasons is a classic, especially in perspective of contrasts with other ethnomusicological output.
